Lots of things can be used for a flexible batten for drafting, including the acrylic ones sold just for that purpose. Easiest to find is likely a fairly thin steel rod, most hardware stores have them, no idea what they are used for, but they have enough spring to bend around a fairly tight radius and then return to the staight shape afterwards. Walk around the building supply store/hardware store and see what flexes and how much, the others in the store might think it's strange though ;)
